Should writers be able to write characters of other races and nationalities?
This topic has been on my mind for a while and I'm curious about what people think. Please write freely, give your honest opinion, and explain your reasoning. I'm looking forward to reading all of your responses!

Of course they should!
Every book would be the same, there wouldn't be any international intrigue possible. Nothing but kitchen sink dramas! Where would this line of thinking lead?
You can't write outside your class! What were you thinking, writing a nobleman?
But you're from Manchester! How dare you write a Londoner!
You were brought up on this street! You've got a nerve, writing about a character from the other side of town!
Stop it with the cultural appropriation crap, please. It's b*****ks.
